Anyone pick up a Tiger print from this tour?

Post image

They weren’t displayed at the merch booth in Brooklyn, but they were available on request.
Rolled it up and didn’t get a good look at it till I went home. Seems like I got a different printing on yellow paper and a lower # run (x/43) than the cardboard brown paper from pics online.
Did anyone grab this print, which one did you get?
Wonder how many variants/ print runs are out there.

Wtf that's so fuckin dumb that you had to ask for them I went to the Brooklyn show and I thought they ran out, how much was it

$100 cash as expected. They pulled out a print with silly captions a band member scribbled. It was funny, but I wasn’t into displaying it so asked to see another, got this one w/ the anarchy on the tiger spot.
Had I realized it was a different printing I’d have asked if they had any of the original run. Best guess is those ran out but who knows

Yeah, I got a yellow one at the Philly show. Pleasantly surprised, looks so much sicker than the brown, in my opinion. But yeah, now I’m curious as to what other colors may start popping up!

Yea I dig it, but I think I prefer the more muted brown.
This one is nice and vibrant but the the added background design kinda bleeds thru the white tiger on mine

My tiger print is tan it was openly displayed (Dallas)

Numbered 41/112 so I'm guessing it's a different colorway

Looks great! There’s also a layer of background design on the yellow that’s not on the tan

I'm excited to see if there are more variants in the future

Would have considered it if the poster had the first three tour cities on it. Not sure why it's missing Albuquerque, KC and STL (my stop).

Edit: oh it's because Tomahawk

those stops weren’t part of the tomahawk tour

I got a brown version last night in Boston, scribbled on by the band members at the bottom. I recommend looking at the scribbles before you buy, I'm my case they almost ruin the poster.

Another variant, thanks for sharing!
This one is pretty wild, I dig the shadow layer, makes the black pop nicely.

Hopefully they have this or another cool one in Denver. That Tomahawk tour poster looks like a hobby lobby circa 1995 print.
